The project was siding and trim

Yeah, it's done

David nails the last chunk on

then chills a bit

Relaxing at the Brew Pub in beautiful downtown Republic

Ah yes, living high at Madonna's

descended on 10 acres four miles from Republic, WA

After 7 days of work and wrestling with wind, rain, and snow 

we had a cabin with a roof

We arrive and start setting up camp

Welcome to Geezerville

But let's head to the cabin--down this track a coupla hundred feet

Love those massive pillars and massive beams

We build the back wall, then put it aside

Then build the front wall...

...and begin raising it...

...with a few pauses to ponder whether the flex in those vertical 2x4s was a threat to safety

But a couple of hours and a few patient adjustments later, the wall was up

So one end wall is added

And half the back wall is brought back

And the other end wall

The rafter crafter

The buddha ponders all...

...or he may be levitating that plywood up the slide

A fairly typical scene through the week

The  thermostat for the fire pit malfunctioned

Bob and Sonya

Yeah, that's what it looks like--snow

We must've had a dozen or more small sessions of the stuff

Sweet feeling when that roof was finally on

Dunno how these people will be able to live, knowing their end wall is upside down

Two brothers and two brothers

Happy and proud...

...and pooped

The cabin site has a great view of the Kettle River Range

The final act was to mount the weather vane
